Not exact matches

Widely used by doctors and physical therapists to control pain and stimulate healing by passing electrical current through affected areas, the devices cost thousands of dollars and can be tricky to use, but Rahimi experienced immediate, lasting relief the first time he used it.

Touch receptors in your skin sense the insect and activate an electrical current that passes along nerves until it reaches your brain, which registers the fly's presence and instigates a response.
